I wonder why people prefer fiction to real life. For what's been happening to Maurice and Melissa could not be made up by any fiction writer. First HMP Cardiff don't hand over his belongings back to him, incl. his passport. Then they 'invite' him to pick it up - but only to arrest him again. And then the officers choose the convenient time of 1.24am on this Sunday's morning to alert one of his supporters by phone.

Melissa didn't get her underwear back when she was released to be deported with the aid of 9 prison staff in riot gear, while she was in a weelchair! Neither did she get the money she was owed, for Travel upon Discharge. 

Who MASTERMINDS these awful treatments of 'wear and tear' of a 68-year-old pilot and veterinary surgeon and a 44-year old mother that spans Judiciary, Police, Caswell Clinic and Prison?

Who FEARS to lose should Maurice and Melissa get the justice and compensation they deserve? Would that governments woke up to the Bradbury Pound to compensate victims of white collar crimes!

Who is MOTIVATED to do this to other human beings for what BENEFITS? 

Why is it 'better' for people in institutions to deny and lie, cover up crimes and commit more crimes? 

Why does it seem to be impossible for people to behave like human beings in HMP establishments? Is it policy?

What a 'consolation' that I have seen repeats of what I've experienced with Maurice with another prisoner, now deported whilst her son is kept for adoption by Barnet Council: Melissa Laird, dumped at Dulles Airport

Sir James Munby appeals to the courts to adapt to the realities of the internet, escpecially social media

Mr Justice Charles calls for more Court of Protection cases to be made public.  

Many prisons allow for Email a Prisoner - one way that is. A7306CJ is the number you need to email Maurice. Is the whigged generation slowly going to be replaced by Digital Natives with all matter of audio and video facilities to ensure justice, fairness, publicity and transparency? But then, when CCTV footage is in place, it doesn't get released as in the case of Leah McGrath Goodman - just to add UKBA to the list of joint culprits between Leah and Melissa...

What a 'strange coincidence' that another mother reports the same drama of being deported without travel documents 18 years ago... 

Unmitigated hypocrisy [in the best interest of the child] is added to institutionalised hypocrisy [justice, fairness, the Rule of Law] aka perfidious Albion. What a sad side of Britain... Fortunately, I attended the UKIP conference yesterday and could take heart!
